As countries negotiate a new climate agreement for the United Nations climate conference in December 2015, a groundswell of climate actions is emerging as cities, regions, businesses and civil society groups act on mitigation and adaptation, independently, with each other and with national governments and international organizations. The Paris conference provides a historic opportunity to establish a framework to catalyse, support, and steer these initiatives. Without such a framework, ‘bottom-up’ climate governance runs the risk of failing to deliver meaningful results. Social science research highlights the need for a comprehensive approach that promotes ambition, experimentation and accountability, and avoids unnecessary overlaps. This article specifies functions and design principles for a new, comprehensive framework for sub- and nonstate climate actions that could provide effective coordination.

- “All Hands on Deck”: The Paris Agreement and Nonstate Climate Action (2016, background): “Summarizing much of this thinking, thirteen of the experts involved in these discussions published an article on the eve of COP 21 that outlined what they saw as the key principles the intergovernmental regime should—and should not—adopt vis-à-vis sub/nonstate actors (Chan et al. 2015b).”
